Black Radio/Black Resistance - The Life & Times of the Tom Joyner Morning Show (Hardcover): Micaela Di Leonardo Black Radio/Black Resistance - The Life & Times of the Tom Joyner Morning Show (Hardcover)
Micaela Di Leonardo
R3,062 Discovery Miles 30 620 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Every weekday, the wildly popular Tom Joyner Morning Show reaches more than eight million radio listeners. The show offers broadly progressive political talk, adult-oriented soul music, humor, advice, and celebrity gossip for largely older, largely working-class black audience. But it's not just an old-school show: it's an activist political forum and a key site reflecting on popular aesthetics. It focuses on issues affecting African Americans today, from the denigration of hard-working single mothers, to employment discrimination and sexual abuse, to the racism and violence endemic to the U.S. criminal justice system, to international tragedies. In Black Radio/Black Resistance, author Micaela di Leonardo dives deep into the Tom Joyner Morning Show's 25 year history inside larger U.S. broadcast history. From its rise in the Clinton era and its responses to key events-9/11, Hurricane Katrina, President Obama's elections and presidency, police murders of unarmed black Americans and the rise of Black Lives Matter, and Donald Trump's ascendancy-it has broadcast the varied, defiant, and darkly comic voices of its anchors, guests, and audience members. di Leonardo also investigates the new synergistic set of cross-medium ties and political connections that have affected print, broadcast, and online reporting and commentary in antiracist directions. This new multiracial progressive public sphere has extraordinary potential for shaping America's future. Thus Black Radio/Black Resistance does far more than simply shed light on a major counterpublic institution unjustly ignored for reasons of color, class, generation, and medium. It demonstrates an alternative understanding of the shifting black public sphere in the digital age. Like the show itself, Black Radio/Black Resistance is politically progressive, music-drenched, and blisteringly funny.

The Gender/Sexuality Reader - Culture, History, Political Economy (Paperback, Reissue): Roger N Lancaster, Micaela Di Leonardo The Gender/Sexuality Reader - Culture, History, Political Economy (Paperback, Reissue)
Roger N Lancaster, Micaela Di Leonardo
R1,538 Discovery Miles 15 380 Ships in 12 - 17 working days


The Gender/Sexuality Reader is a sophisticated survey of the best recent work in anthropology on the issues of gender and sexuality. The essays are diverse and engaging: colonial rule in Indonesia, the sexological legacy of scientific racism in Europe, eugenics in Singapore, the political-economic context of motherhood in Brazil.
Developing the insights of social constructionism this reader shows how gender, sexuality, and power are historically connected and practically intertwined.

Exotics at Home - Anthropologies, Others, and American Modernity (Paperback): Micaela Di Leonardo Exotics at Home - Anthropologies, Others, and American Modernity (Paperback)
Micaela Di Leonardo
R1,015 Discovery Miles 10 150 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In this pathbreaking study, Micaela di Leonardo reveals the face of power within the mask of cultural difference. From the 1893 World's Fair to Body Shop advertisements, di Leonardo focuses on the intimate and shifting relations between popular portrayals of exotic Others and the practice of anthropology. In so doing, she casts new light on gender, race, and the public sphere in America's past and present.
"An impressive work of scholarship that is mordantly witty, passionately argued, and takes no prisoners."--Lesley Gill, "News Politics"
"[Micaela] di Leonardo eloquently argues for the importance of empirical, interdisciplinary social science in addressing the tragedy that is urban America at the end of the century."--Jonathan Spencer, "Times Literary Supplement"
"In her quirky new contribution to the American culture brawl, feminist anthropologist Micaela di Leonardo explains how anthropologists, 'technicians of the sacred, ' have distorted American popular debate and social life."--Rachel Mattson, "Voice Literary Supplement"
"At the end of di Leonardo's analyses one is struck by her rare combination of rigor and passion. Simply, [she] is a marvelous iconoclast."--Matthew T. McGuire, "Boston Book Review"

The Varieties of Ethnic Experience - Kinship, Class, and Gender among California Italian-Americans (Paperback): Micaela Di... The Varieties of Ethnic Experience - Kinship, Class, and Gender among California Italian-Americans (Paperback)
Micaela Di Leonardo
R776 Discovery Miles 7 760 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Taking a novel anthropological approach to the issue of white ethnicity in the United States, this book challenges the model of uniform ethnic family and community culture, and argues for a reconsideration of the meaning of class, kinship, and gender in America's past and present. Micaela di Leonardo focuses on a group of Italian-American families who live in Northern California and who range widely in economic status. Combining the methods of participant-observation, oral history, and economic-historical research, she breaks decisively with the tradition of viewing white ethnicity solely as Eastern, urban, and working class.

The author integrates lively narrative accounts with analysis to give a fresh interpretation of ethnic identity as both materially grounded and individually negotiated. She examines the ways in which different occupational experiences influence individual choice of family or community as the unit of collective ethnic identity, and she considers the boundaries at which individuals, particularly women, work out their personal ethnic identities. Her analysis illuminates the political meanings that the images of ethnic woman and family have taken on in popular discourse.

A provocative study that sets the reflections of a broad range of Italian-Americans in the context of their varied life histories, this book provides an informed commentary on family, class, culture, and gender in American life.

Gender at the Crossroads of Knowledge - Feminist Anthropology in the Postmodern Era (Paperback, New): Micaela Di Leonardo Gender at the Crossroads of Knowledge - Feminist Anthropology in the Postmodern Era (Paperback, New)
Micaela Di Leonardo
R1,161 Discovery Miles 11 610 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"Gender at the Crossroads of Knowledge" brings feminist anthropology up to date, highlighting the theoretical sophistication that characterizes recent research. Twelve essays by outstanding scholars, written with the volume's concerns specifically in mind, range across the broadest anthropological terrain, assessing and contributing to feminist work on biological anthropology, primate studies, global economy, new reproductive technologies, ethno-linguistics, race and gender, and more. The editor's introduction not only sets two decades of feminist anthropological work in the multiple contexts of changes in anthropological theory and practice, political and economic developments, and larger intellectual shifts, but also lays out the central insights feminist anthropology has to offer us in the postmodern era. The profound issues raised by the authors resonate with the basic interests of any discipline concerned with gender, that is, all of the social sciences and humanities.
